The MoCADA Museum Shop - Spring Collections
Just in time for spring shopping, MoCADA's Museum Shop is packed with new items and collections by Brooklyn's finest designers and artisans of the African Diaspora. The Museum Shop features unique gifts for the entire family; from jewelry to home goods, children’s books to African Diaspora themed apparel, browse the shelves and you’re sure to find what you need!

New For Spring:
Adha Zelma is an audacious and distinctly international jewelry line, handcrafted and created with love in the Adha Zelma studio in Brooklyn, New York. Inspired by world culture, the line blends traditional adornment concepts and reinterprets them through a modern eye.
Brooklyn Flavors is a natural collection of body care products and home fragrances. Each scent is inspired by Brooklyn landmarks and neighborhoods, including Bed-Stuy, Brownstone, Church Avenue, Fort Greene and Park Slope! All products are made with natural butters, packed with vitamins and minerals for your skin.
Indego Africa Collection is a line of home and personal accessories, handmade by women artisans in Rwanda. Each item is made from gorgeous African prints in a collection of vibrant colors. These fair trade products directly support Rwandan businesswomen, as 100% of the proceeds go to training programs in financial management and entrepreneurship taught by Rwanda's top university students.

New On the Bookshelves:
The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration, by Isabel Wilkerson
